The map
About this Heidelberg map poster
Heidelberg sits at the point where the Neckar emerges from a narrow valley between forested hills into the flat Upper Rhine plain. The old town is a long narrow strip on the south bank, squeezed between the river and the slope of the Königsberg. Hauptstraße, one of the longest pedestrian streets in Germany, runs straight through it.
Above the old town are the red sandstone ruins of Heidelberg Castle. On the opposite bank, the Philosophenweg climbs across the hillside with views over the roofs. The Old Bridge links the two sides. The city is also home to Heidelberg University, founded in 1386 and the oldest in Germany, whose buildings are spread across the old town and newer campuses.
A Heidelberg map poster shows a strong contrast. East of the centre, streets are confined to narrow valley ribbons along the river. To the west, the city opens into a broad grid across the plain. The Neckar, with its bridges and islands, runs through the middle and holds the composition together.

Hauptstraße
The long pedestrian main street runs straight through the narrow old town between the river and the castle hill, forming the backbone of the historic centre.
Valley to plain
East of the centre, the city is confined to the narrow Neckar valley. Westward, it spreads into a wide regular grid on the Rhine plain.

Why Heidelberg
A map that means something
Heidelberg is a place many people carry with them: a semester abroad, a doctorate, a first job or a memorable trip. A map of the river and old town is a simple, recognisable way to remember it.
You can personalise the title, the subtitle and the coordinates line, for example with graduation year or faculty. Five styles are available: Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Paper suits the university city particularly well.
